Veolia North America Sustainability Report 2024
Biodiversity is vital to the proper functioning of ecosystems - for crop pollination, soil fertilization, oxygen production, food, medicines and more life-sustaining processes. We strive to lessen or reverse human impacts on the environment. At many of our sites, we work to reverse the impacts of industrial development on biodiversity through targeted projects that improve the habitats of plants and animals that share these spaces.
We implement comprehensive management systems to protect sensitive sites near our operations and regenerate ecosystems. Globally, Veolia Group is committed to the Act4nature initiative and has established a consistent global assessment and managing process for biodiversity, which we have also adopted in North America.
As part of this commitment, we identified 10 priority biodiversity sites across the U.S., conducted ecological assessments and developed management plans to protect them. By the close of 2023, we implemented an average of 82% of the actions detailed in our management plans - and work continues.
Our ecological management plans address a variety of important biodiversity issues at these sites, including:
Protecting endangered species
Planting native species
Controlling or removing invasive species
Reducing light pollution
Complying with discharge regulations
Eliminating or reducing pesticide use
Taking steps to reduce carbon footprints
Conducting ecological impact
Studies for future site development
Implementing education and awareness projects
